It's hard to let someone you love go, but sometimes, they're "Better Off Gone" ... which is the premise of country singer/songwriter
Logan Mize
's new single.

"Better Off Gone" is off of the Kansas native's album
Come Back Road
and was written by Abe Stoklasa (who co-wrote
Chris Lane
's "Fix" and
Charles Kelley
's "The Driver") and
Donovan Woods
. Mize explained to iHeartRadio of how the song came about, "I heard the song ... my friend's Abe Stoklasa and Donovan Woods wrote it. And we were about to finish up my album and I begged to put the song on there because I loved it. I think it translates because it seems to be the song that our fans are loving the most, so they've been singing it back to us for an entire year on the road."

Fans can expect to see Logan out on the road a lot this year. He is currently finishing up "The Way Back Tour" with
Russell Dickerson
and
Carly Pearce
, and told iHeartRadio of the trek, "I love touring with Russell and Carly mostly because I have no responsibilities other than just showing up with my guitar and playing for their fans, which is a great change of pace. Russell's a great guy, Carly's a really cool chick and just a lot of fun. I've known Russell for a long time, so it's good to be out on the road with other friends who have been kicking around in Nashville for a long time trying to make something happen."

When you make plans and then forget that you made plans

When you lose all your things

When you make friends with complete strangers

"That would be drunk me and sober me. I'm a pretty social guy. "

When you're creeping on someone's on social media

"Well I'm married, so it's never really a girl thing, it's usually like, scouting out how I can be friends with, you know, Eric Stonestreet, for instance ... who's another raging Kansas City Chiefs fan. That's at all hours of the day, sober me."
